"The sixth edition of Process Control Instrumentation Technology provides a comprehensive working knowledge of process control and control systems, from the fundamental theoretical concepts to the more practical aspects of assembling, troubleshooting, adjusting and operating a control system. Using this text to obtain a solid foundation, readers can design the elements of a control system from the practical perspective as well as understand how these elements affect overall system operation and tuning. All of this is accomplished without the necessity of advanced math and theory or on-the-job experience."--BOOK JACKET.
